THE MOST VALUBLE INTELLIGENCE DISCIPLINE: IMINT
I believe that the most valuable discipline will be the IMINT field, but with good evidence. During the Gulf War, the IMINT field was detrimental to mission accomplishment. The field of Battle Damage Assessment is in my opinion one of the factors that makes imagery so important to combative assessments. The forward observers that would ordinarly be sent out to the battlefield to obtain target information are in a very vulnerable position and by using imagery the threat of danger is almost obsolete during a Battle Damage Assessment.
Another type of operation that IMINT supports is the evacuations of non-essential personnel during times of conflict, also known as NEOs. A NEO operation

IMINT is the most valuable tool when making terrain analysis without having to touch foot on the ground. With IMINT as a tool, there is no threat to personnel out in the field collecting information like HUMINT.
Although there are two types of imagery collection platforms, breathing and non-breathing, the intelligence community is slowly moving to utilizing more and more non-breathing platforms. The breathing platforms will always be used, but with the increasing UAV (Un-Manned Aerial Vehicle) use, even air-breathing platforms will someday be totally without risk for intelligence gathering.
IMINT is also capable of locating permanently stationed non-US communication equipment. Without IMINT it would be impossible to tell exactly how to take out an electronic transmitting device.
IMINT has already proven itself as being one of the most valuable disciplines as well as one of the newest disciplines. The Imagery by electro-optical, radar, and infrared have brought this new discipline to the forefront of every brief, and imagery is almost always certainly requested, “Show me a picture”, is often what is requested. I believe that its value will increase the more that it is used, especially with the new multi-spectral

2. Battle Management, Command, Control, and Communications (BM/C3): The BM/C3 component is divided into two main parts. First, the Command and Control (BM/C2) system controls the overall NMD system. Information from sensors is forwarded to the BM/C2, which processes the data and determines the targets for the GBI to intercept. Second, the In-Flight Interceptor Communications System (IFICS) is a network of ground systems that relay communications to the GBI while in flight to guide it to the incoming warhead.
INTEGRATED BATTLE MANAGEMENT A system of systems providing seamless battle management to fuse information from our NORAD regions and adjacent CINCs and Commanders. This allows NORAD to receive and give effective support to our forces during peacetime and wartime. Such interoperability will become more important as sea, land and air forces create a credible NORAD defensive shield over North America.
Intelligence failure was one of the main reasons why the Tet offensive happened. The allies undergo a failure of intelligence before Tet, a failure that helped plan the stages for changes in the strategies of the US. The four parts of intelligence are crucial in determining the actions of the enemy. The four tasks consist of collection of information, the analysis of the information, the decision to respond to a warning issued in the analytical stage, dissemination of the order to respond to the field co...
...he programs that are put in place by the IMC are a means to an end; they are addressing what the IMC believes to be the root cause of the problem rather than solely addressing the immediate needs of the communities in distress. This follows in the idea of instrumental rationality (Barnett et al. 2008). The International Medical Corps looks to stop humanitarian crisis from happening in the future and this is represented in the nature of the focuses of their programs as well as their mission statement. Much of the work done by the International Medical Corps focuses on building health care systems for underserved communities that result in an improvement in the overall quality of life in those communities.
...these intelligence failures, more emphasis is now placed on the creation of intelligence products used on the battlefield. All possible enemy courses of actions are now red teamed in an attempt to produce a much accurate analytical product.
Intelligence can be defined in many different ways since there are a variety of individual differences. Intelligence to me is the ability to reason and respond quickly yet accurately in all aspects of life, such as physically, emotionally, and mentally. Anyone can define intelligence because it is an open-ended word that has much room for interpretation. Thus my paper is an attempt to find the meaning of human intelligence. There are a couple of scientists who have tried to come up with theories of what makes a human being intelligent.
Objectives The objectives of the plan are to: • To be a guide to the user, providing clear directions on how to prepare, monitor, test, document and review all the components necessary to guarantee that the EMBC program and by extension NAIT is operationally prepared to respond to any emergency. • To promote confidence in EMBC Program team has conducted all the necessary
It can and is very biased depending on where the intelligence is coming from. For example if the intelligence is being pushed by a specific diplomatic party news cast then it will be worded to favor that party which can have false misleading intelligence. OSINT can be more than news cast it cover social media sites I can go onto some ones Facebook account and see who there family is, where they are from and are now, what there family looks like, who their friends are and where they go to school all of this is bad for that individual and very dangerous. OSINT is the most used by criminals to target women, children and potential houses to rob. It is also widely used by terrorist organizations to gain intelligence on individuals, companies and capabilities the United States might have. This is by far the biggest downfall to OSINT it is open for any and everyone to see leaving us very vulnerable to our

One of the latest and most controversial topics that has risen over the past five to ten years is whether or not drones should be used as a means of war, surveillance, and delivery systems. Common misconceptions usually lead to people’s opposition to the use of drones; which is the reason it is important for people to know the facts about how and why they are used. Wartime capabilities will provide for less casualties and more effective strikes. New delivery and surveillance systems in Africa, the United Air Emirates and the United States will cut costs and increase efficiency across the board. Rules and regulations on drones may be difficult to enforce, but will not be impossible to achieve. The use of drones as weapons of war and delivery and surveillance systems should not be dismissed because many people do not realize the real capabilities of drones and how they can be used to better the world through efficient air strikes, faster delivery times, and useful surveillance.

Thought out our lives, we are faced with many different learning experiences. Some of these experiences have made a better impact than others. This can be attributed to everyone’s different multiple intelligences or learning styles. A persons learning style is the method though which they gain information about their environment. As a teacher, it is our responsibility to know these styles, so we can reach each of our students and use all of the necessary methods.
